AGNext
------

AGNext is a framework for building multi-agent applications. It is designed to be easy to use, flexible, and scalable.

At a high level it provides both a framework for inter-agent communication and a set of components for building and managing agents.

:doc:`Agents <core-concepts/agent>` are hosted by and managed by a :doc:`runtime <core-concepts/runtime>`.
AGNext supports both RPC or event based based
communication between agents, allowing for a :doc:`diverse set of agent patterns
<core-concepts/patterns>`. AGNext provides default agent implementations for
common uses, such as chat completion agents, but also allows for fully custom agents.

AGNext's developer API consists of the following layers:

- :doc:`core <reference/agnext.core>` - The core interfaces that defines agent and runtime.
- :doc:`application <reference/agnext.application>` - Implementations of the runtime and other modules (e.g., logging) for building applications.
- :doc:`components <reference/agnext.components>` - Interfaces and implementations for agents, models, memory, and tools.
- :doc:`chat <reference/agnext.chat>` - High-level API for creating demos and experimenting with multi-agent patterns. It offers pre-built agents, patterns, message types, and memory stores.
